What are the advantages of chalk varnishes for children's furniture?

First of all, LittlePomp chalk varnishes are non-toxic paints for children's furniture. They are water-based, water-soluble and do not contain any solvents. In addition, our chalk varnish has a completely natural filler, namely chalk. This raw material is extracted from nature. MissPompadour LittlePomp wall paints are safe for health and the environment.

Why paint fumes from conventional paints could harm your baby

Paint is of course applied in its liquid state. When paints and varnishes evaporate and dry, they naturally give off vapours into the environment. The important question is whether these vapours contain pollutants. Many conventional paints contain VOCs (volatile organic compounds). These often harmful substances are released into the environment as the paint dries. Most of the time you can smell them as you paint, but even long after the paint has dried, and the smell has dissipated, chemical compounds are still being released into the environment. This is unhealthy in the long run, especially if the paints also contain solvents, because they can irritate the mucous memb ranes and cause further damage. Even sensitive adults suffer from these vapours. How do sensitive babies or toddlers fare when they spend many hours a day in a freshly painted room? So you don't have to worry about this, we have developed our non-toxic paints for children's furniture and toys.

What is the difference between LittlePomp and other chalk paints?

Of course, MissPompadour did not invent chalk paint. But we have succeeded in adding properties to our chalk paints and chalk varnishes that are especially beneficial in a child's room.
You can use our vegan LittlePomp chalk varnishes with peach of mind on children's unfinished wood furniture, because they are saliva-proof. This is important because, as we know, small children like to explore the world with their mouths during the oral stage. So it's important that the paint really bonds and doesn't come off when it comes into contact with saliva.

If the wood is at risk of bleeding, or has many knotholes, prime the wood in advance with MissPompadour To Bond & Block. For smooth surfaces, also use this 2in1 product, as it will also ensure a good bond between the surface and the varnish. However, if the surface is subject to more wear and tear, you should seal it after painting. Use To Seal for this. This will improve durability and give a longer-lasting colour effect.

A baby should not run the risk of swallowing small particles of paint. The varnishes comply with "DIN EN 71-3:2019 for the safety of toys" and are therefore ideal for painting unfinished wooden toys.
By the way, the varnishes are also animal-friendly. Anyone who has ever had a young dog knows that you first have to get him out of the habit of gnawing on chair and table legs. With LittlePomp chalk varnishes, at least your little housemate can't get sick. MissPompadour LittlePomp chalk varnishes are also ideal for sensitive people.

LittlePomp: 15 colour shades for the children's room design

Once you've decided on a colour quality, it's time to choose the right colour shade.
LittlePomp offers a selection of soft pastel shades, softly tinted whites and a few quite expressive tones with which you can set accents. Keep in mind for the future that a child's room will soon be filled with toys. As these are often very colourful, we recommend using more muted, neutral colours in your child's room.
It doesn't always have to be sky blue or pink in your baby's room. Maybe you'll go for green as a nursery colour. A pastel, soft green creates a sense of security and calm. A calming blue can also ensure restful sleep in the nursery. The cheerful yellow from the colour card by LittlePomp simply puts you in a good mood.
Once you have chosen the colour for the children's furniture, you can decorate the walls in the children's room wonderfully with the same colour shade. You'll find that even small rooms look spacious. If you're looking for more inspiration, we have an article on painting a child's room for you.

Tip: Paint your baby's cot with LittlePomp from MissPompadour

Our LittlePomp varnishes are perfect for furniture in the nursery. If you want to paint your baby's cot with our saliva-proof paint, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
It is important that you clean your cot well before painting. The mild and environmentally friendly To Clean - MissPompadour Cleaner is particularly suitable for a dust and grime-free surface. Afterwards, it is best to work with one of the fine MissPompadour brushes. With its supple, soft trim, you can easily reach all nooks and crannies. You will notice that the nursery paint is practically odourless. Let the first coat dry for at least 4 hours. Then apply a 2nd coat. After 2 weeks, your paint will be completely dry and the cot can be used. You can find detailed instructions in our article Painting the baby cot.

Your baby will love the colour

We know that babies and toddlers are particularly sensitive to colour. If you offer a toddler a red or a white toy, he will always reach for red. That's why it's important to create a colour-harmonious environment, even for the very youngest children. LittlePomp chalk varnishes offer 15 colour shades that are wonderful to combine. The nursery colours look equally attractive on walls and furniture. Not only will you like these colour shades, but your baby will love them too
